SUMMARY: The Nettleton school district has received over $375,000 from the federal government for school violence prevention. Superintendent Ken Buer mentioned that part of the funds will be used to install motorized gates around the campus, enhancing security since the current manual gates pose safety risks. Additionally, they plan to acquire identification software to screen visitors, checking for registered sex offenders. Meanwhile, Monroe County schools are also benefiting, receiving more than $324,000 for similar school violence prevention initiatives. This funding aims to improve safety measures within school districts in the area.
